Not whitetails !

Maybe not for you...........      8)

If not, you should switch to fresh corn.....  assuming you like to see mature bucks in the day time hours.      :yike:
:chuckle: Shane needs all the help he can get with getting mature buck pictures in the daylight.  :tup:

Any other fruits been tried? I threw out some pears in an area that normally has deer, will check the piles next week when hunting. I'm just wondering if there are other fresh foods that they like. Has anyone tried creamed corn or canned whole kernel? Pretty decent scent strength when you open the cans up

I've put out apples, pumpkins, gords, squash, cucumbers, ears of corn and they have eaten it all.  I recently through some potatoes out and they didn't touch them.  There was cracked corn out as well so it could be that they just ate that instead.

And coyotes too, which I have seen around. I wonder if the less sweet stuff such as lettuce and carrots would work. I've been debating getting the 25 lb bag of "juicing" carrots from winco

Just returned from a couple days at the new property and finding new good things each time.  Last time a spring, this time an apple tree.  Heavy usage under the tree from deer and some bear activity.  Old style, small apples that are sweet.  Reminds me of the old type apples I used to eat while bird hunting in the Palouse many years ago while a student at the University of Idaho. :tup:
